Re: How many nouns

My apologies, Lespol.
A noun is a person, a place or a thing. For example,
"The" is not a person, a place or a thing. It's not a noun.
"furry" is not a person, a place or a thing. It's a description;e.g., a furry thing.
"feline" is a thing. It's a cat! It's a noun. **correction: it's an adjective here.
"quadrupede" is a thing. It's a four-legged thing. It's a noun.
"reclined" is an action. It's not a person, place or thing. It's not a noun.
"upon" is a location. It tells us where something is located. It's not a noun.
"floor" is a description. It tells us what kind of "covering". It's a floor covering or a car covering or a bed covering. "floor" isn't a noun here. It's an adjective.
"covering" is a thing. It covers the floor. It's a noun.
Hope that helps.
